Earlier this week, a new set of images showing the rear shell of the black iPhone 5C hit the blogosphere, originally posted on the Chinese site Weibo, by the user Ban base de mango. The author claimed that the images belong to a black iPhone 5C.

Furthermore, he exclusively confirms that Apple did not even plan to have the black colour option in the first place for the iPhone 5C.

In other words, rumours surrounding the black iPhone 5C are completely false, Sonny Dickson says. According to his sources, the lower-cost iPhone will be available in green, yellow, white, blue, and red.
